Moral Maze - 10/03/2010

Logo for Moral Maze - 10/03/2010

This week the question for the Moral Maze is, 'why should we have a right to know the truth about Jon Venables's crimes?' If revealing the details would jeopardise any chance of a fair trial and also risk revealing his new identity, what is the justification other than to feed a desire for revenge? What should we do with Jon Venables? How should justice be done in his case and others like it, and how should it be seen to be done? Witnesses: Kelvin Mackenzie, former editor of the Sun Frances Crook, director of the Howard League for Penal Reform Marie McCounrt, coordinator of SAMM Merseyside - Support After Murder and Manslaughter Merseyside.
